There is no UPPER$, use LCASE$() and UCASE$().

Great. Thank you.
I had forgotten about that version of the command in basic.
I must say that the version of GTBasic you sent me recently has corrected a lot of issues i had.
I am able to move forward with some of my older projects

I have an issue with trying to create an empty string.

XXX$ = "TEST"
PRINT "1 - ";XXX$
XXX$ = ""
PRINT "2 - ";XXX$

This results in
1 - TEST
2 - TEST

You found another bug, good stuff!

For now erase the string by doing the following:

Code: Select all

doke @XXX$, &h0000
This sets the string length to 0 followed by a zero terminator.

Thanks. My inexperience shows. I forgot about DOKE.

I had set it to 1 blank and modified the tests to suit

Frankly Wayne, next to the guy that actually wrote it, you probably have exercised gtBASIC more than most on the forum! Thanks for all your efforts!

Here is my beta version of Scott Adams Pirate Adventure. The game plays properly to completion but I haven't tested all potential paths through the adventure.
If you are a fan of the genre give it a try and report any issues back through this forum. I will eventually release the source code for the engine when I have debugged it.
I will now port another adventure.

Thanks for the great work. My first time in the genre was Masquerade (Apple II). It keeps the Gigatron alive.

Nice product placement in the flyer :-)

I've made https://gigatron.io/emu-dev/ have 64kB so you can run it from there.

I can compile it smaller than 64k as it doesn't need it. I will submit a version for normal 32k

Too many strings it seems. Failed to compile all the arrays used.
I will look into compiling them smaller on my next use of the GigaScott engine
